Here is the care tips for Ixora Yellow Plant :

🌞 Light : Provide full sun to partial shade. For best flowering, ensure at least 5–6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

💧 Water : Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during hot weather, but allow the topsoil to dry slightly between watering.

💦 Humidity :  Loves high humidity.

🌡️ Temperature : Thrives in warm, humid climates. Protect from cold—temperatures below 10°c can damage the plant.

🪴 Soil : Use well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Ixora prefers a ph between 5.0–6.5; alkaline soil can cause yellowing leaves.

⚡ Fertilizer : Feed with a balanced or acid-loving plant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring to monsoon). This promotes lush growth and more blooms.

✂️ Pruning & training : Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or weak branches regularly.

🧺 Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when root-bound. Choose a pot with good drainage.

🐛 Pests: Watch for pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Treat early with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Avoid overwatering to prevent fungal issues.

👉 By following these simple guidelines, your plant will thrive and become a beautiful, cascading feature in your home!
